3 1 Introduction Grantees have a contractual obligation to recognise funding by and the European Union (EU) in all dissemination activities and publications that arise from the research funded wholly or partly by and EU. This guide for grantees offers practical guidance to ensure acknowledgement of and the EU as funders. Logo, emblem and text are to be used in all publications and media related to -funded projects. The rules for displaying logo and emblem (sizes, ratios, background) are mandatory. For the placement of the logo. the EU emblem and the acknowledgement text, this guide gives our recommendations. Included are some examples of their application by grantees in printed publications, promotional materials, presentations and websites. If you have any queries or suggestions regarding these guidelines, please do not hesitate to contact us at media@edctp.org. 3

4 2 logo In this guide we present the logo for use by grantees. If you can t find it here, please don t use it. The logo is available in the following formats: EPS, vector-based and scalable format used for high-quality printing purposes. JPEG, format used in electronic materials and publications. Always use the logo in combination with the acronym. The logo in yellow is only to be used when contrast is needed (e.g. against a very dark background). The logo must never be smaller than 22,5 mm on each side. Always ensure to scale all sides of the logo proportionally to avoid distorting its shape. The logos can be downloaded at EU emblem Please take into consideration the following when using the EU emblem: The minimum height of the EU emblem shall be 10 mm. The emblem is preferably reproduced on a white background. If there is no alternative to a coloured background, put a white border around the rectangle, with a width equal to 1/25th of the height of the rectangle. 10 mm For more information, please access the Graphics guide to the European flag (emblem). Visit the EU website to download all versions of the EU emblem. 4

5 3 Obligation and right to use the logo and the EU emblem Application of logos and acknowledgement text As stated in the 2 grant agreement, any communication activity related to the project, including websites and other electronic media, newsletters, slide presentations, and other published materials such as brochures and leaflets must: Display the logo, AND Display the EU emblem, AND Include the following text: This project is part of the 2 Programme supported by the European Union When displayed together with another logo, the logo and the EU emblem must have appropriate prominence. does not endorse or recommend any (commercial) products, processes or services by other parties. Therefore, the logo, the EU emblem and acknowledgement text must not be used for advertising or endorsement purposes. For example, the successful implementation of a commercially developed diagnostic product in a research setting is certainly good news. However, messages about this implementation or the product should not feature the logo and the EU emblem in a way that suggests endorsement of the product. Basic rules The logo and the EU emblem should always be displayed side-by-side. The logo should always be displayed to the left of the EU emblem. When displayed together, the EU emblem should be the same width as the logo. The sizes of the logo and the EU emblem can vary depending on the media used but the ratio of height and size must remain the same to avoid distortion. The minimum height for the logo is 22,5 mm, for the EU emblem 10 mm. The acknowledgement text can be placed on top of the logos, below the logos, or next to the EU emblem (see examples below). This project is part of the 2 programme supported by the European Union This project is part of the 2 programme supported by the European Union Similarly, a manual developed for a training or study which discusses the proper use of (commercial) products, instruments or equipment, should not feature the logo and EU emblem in such a way that suggests authorship or endorsement. This project is part of the 2 programme supported by the European Union The logo and EU emblem should only be used to acknowledge their role as funder. 5

6 Multiple logos The logo and the EU emblem should not be displayed at the same level/prominence as the logo of the project/consortium. However, it is required that the logo and the EU emblem are placed on the front covers of brochures and publications, and home pages of websites. When displayed together with another logo, the logo and the EU emblem must have appropriate prominence. Ensure the heights of the logos have a similar scale and dimension. It is also important to ensure clear spacing. This project is part of the 2 programme supported by the European Union X X X X X X 6
